Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what assessment he has made of the potential effect of the UK's decision to leave the EU on the size of the civil service workforce.
Workforce planning is primarily the responsibility of each department. The Civil Service constantly reviews its capabilities in order to deliver the Government's commitment to leave the EU and get the best deal for the UK. Civil Service HR is working with all departments across the Civil Service to better understand their capacity and capability requirements.
